Hidden feelings

Why is Simu pushing Chenying away and ignoring him? It’s so clear the boy wants her in his life and thinks of her as family. It was really frustrating to watch him get sidelined, and that led exactly to what happened at the end—those evil guys (who I'm convinced are evil spirits themselves) have tricked his mind. 😒I really hope he remembers what Mr. Lin told him about looking harder to find the 'tell,' because the fake one will eventually slip up. This 'real' Xiaoxiao is nothing like she’s ever been, so I don’t understand why he’s still listening to her! 🤔🤞Also, I’m so curious to see how Duan Xu handles the battlefield without his sense of touch. I bet it will actually make him even more skilled! It’s amazing to think about him honing his other senses to compensate for the missing one—which, in a fight, is probably the most important one to lose.

Sense of touch

The way Duan Xu says her name... Simu... it sounds so intimate every single time! I honestly couldn’t focus on anything else in this episode besides those two. And now, she finally has the sense of touch!It’s amazing to watch her enjoying it like a child—so cheerful, playful, and curious about everything from different textures and fabrics to the feeling of the wind. Seeing a grown-up react to these sensations for the first time is just beautiful. Of course, Duan Xu is using that to his benefit... touching her and sending that "electricity" her way! She seems completely amazed and stunned by all these new feelings. ⚡️😊I believe her journey through the senses is going to be quite a ride, full of so many different emotions. I actually love that she cannot use her powers while experiencing these senses; it makes her journey even more diverse and grounded. Also, seeing how Duan Xu adapts to losing a particular sense was so funny—at first, he was falling everywhere like a completely wasted person, yet he was totally sober! 😂

New suspicious characters

Both Duan Xu and Chenying don't want Simu to leave their lives. I really hope she changes her mind and attitude toward the boy, because her rejection really hurts him. Poor Chenying! ☹️ Duan Xu is always searching for Simu when she's not around. He really has already fallen for her. His gazes are such a tell!The new guy, the Chancellor from the capital, is suspicious. I am not sure what his goal is there, but I would like to trust Chenying's judgment. He always notices many little things that eventually turn out to be a sign of some malice. 🧐And I wonder what Captain Han will say when he actually decides to ask, or learns another way, that he's also from the All-Knowing Sect and that Duan Xu was the one scarring his face and removing his memories. I don't think he'll be happy... Simu's right-hand man seemed a little jealous of her "passing amusement" that somehow has taken a lot of her mind and even changes her preferences. I hope the guy won't turn into a villain.

What a fight!

The Chong army should know by now never to underestimate General Duan Xu, even when he’s alone, captive, and chained! Watching him easily break free, throw the camp into turmoil, and set it ablaze to reach their general (the one with the cat) was incredible. His journey gradually shifted him into a "bloodlust mode" until he went into a complete frenzy to deliver the killing blow to the spy, whom he recognized as the "Fifteen" of the All-Knowing Sect. 💪🫣Before their final clash, Duan Xu revealed his own dark secret: he is actually the real "Seventeen", another specially trained assassin from the same sect! Supposedly disappeared for years, he was marked as a betrayer for disobeying and blinding his Mentor. What a character! I already knew he was no ordinary general, but now that we know his backstory, I am loving him even more! All of this led to him finally accepting He Simu’s deal, giving her his senses in exchange for the wishes. I cannot wait to see how her journey with these newfound senses will go. And best of all—Simu finally revealed her true name to him! 🤗✨❤️

The spy

I really feel for poor Captain Xia! 🫣 Imagine running into the General’s bedroom only to witness them in that position. Having to cover for them so Captain Meng wouldn't see... oh, poor guy! 😂On a more serious note, I genuinely felt sorry for Chenying. Having to witness the execution at the city gates clearly forced him to relive the trauma of his father’s death. I believe Simu felt for the boy too, judging by how worried she looked while observing him. 🥺I’m glad they finally found the real spy and cleared Captain Han's name. I’m quite intrigued by Han’s forgotten past and those excellent combat skills—there is a mystery built around him too, undeniably! 🧐General Duan is quite the gambler, indeed. It often feels like the General enjoys walking on the edge of a knife... that thin line between life and death. It probably makes him even more interesting to Simu! I’m quite convinced he and Simu have a plan for the spy, especially given how they both smirked when Duan Xu was "captured" by him.

Revealing her identity

She continues to sneak around in her spirit form and I wonder: can Duan Xu sense her only when he has the sword at his side, or can he do it on his own? Simu even raised a question whether Xu had been given Deliverance only because he was her spell-bearer? I want to see how this will turn out to be... That captain with lost memories remembered some flashes, and Duan Xu has marked him as a spy. Is he, though? I'd love to know what he has forgotten and why that happened.But the most important part of this episode was that she finally revealed to him that she's the Sovereign of the Spirit World and wants to make a deal—fulfilling one of his wishes for 10 days for one of his senses. Repeating it five times. And the question now is: what will the general do? She's very determined and persuasive, but they both are tough nuts! Will she succeed? And what did Duan Xu's blood do to the sword? Did it enhance it? Or fed it? That's another very interesting thing to learn eventually... 🤔

The spell-bearer and the Right Hand

First, I have to praise the visuals! Even though we’re in the mortal world, everything is filled with traces of the afterlife — the Void. Having the Sovereign of the Spirit World walking among mortals gives the show such an ethereal, otherworldly, and sometimes even grim atmosphere. I love it. I’m also really enjoying the little boy, Chenying. He’s just so amazed by everything magic-related! Even when Simu denies it, I think he’s convinced his "elder sister" is the one behind it all.Secondly, the way Simu's right hand man appeared the first time. That scene showed him as a very powerful figure in the Void. The black waves circling around him... just WHOA! Definitely give a vibe of someone very powerful, quite ruthless even and domineering. But then he visited Simu with a completely different vibe — a friend, quite caring. And we learned she's in mortal world "on vacation"... hmm — could it mean something? 🤔But thirdly, and most importantly, Simu got the confirmation that the general Duan is the spell-bearer who can give her the missing five senses. And what a scene it was! In slow motion he ran through her invisible body, leaving traces of his essence, enough to activate the golden pearl — the ultimate confirmation that he's the one. I’m quite excited to see how this all continues! However, I actually don’t remember the full story behind her five senses—was she born without them, or did she lose them at some point? 🧐

The mystery around the ML

Wow, this episode just keeps building the mystery around the male lead.The backstory really adds to the suspicion regarding his true identity. What is with the red birds? And that ancient language? And the look in his eyes—he was absolutely wild! He’s definitely no ordinary general, and I’m loving it.Simu is so intrigued by him, observing him while she’s invisible... but is she really? Maybe he cannot see her, but he can definitely sense her. I’ve noticed that more than once now! And that scene where she played the dirge for the general, sitting in the snow while he fought with such bloodlust... it was pure art! I literally had chills during the entire sequence. Amazing!

Curiosity between the leads

General Duan Xu became even more interesting in this episode. It’s clear he has already cracked several of He Simu’s secrets—like her inability to see colors, taste food, or feel temperature, and her hidden identity—and yet he is clearly intrigued by her. I wonder why! It’s obvious he has secrets of his own, and I hope we get some of his backstory soon.Also, the little boy, Chenying, seems to be their biggest shipper... and the children overall! They really like He Simu and General Duan. Their cheering, 'They are bowing for the marriage!' when our leads were just bowing in greeting, was hilarious! 😂I love how different she is with spirits—ruthless and bossy—but with humans, she is an actress. She is so intrigued by them and everything related to the five senses she’s missing.Apparently, General Duan has some special skills, like sharper eyes and keener hearing. I wonder if those are just skills he has honed through training, or if there is something more to him! 🧐

Very interesting start

This show is visually very interesting. The aesthetics are quite gloomy—often dim and plain in colour—which makes the female lead, He Simu, stand out so much. She is very colourful, from her red dress to her vibrant spells!The male lead, General Duan Xu, remains a mystery not just to me, but to He Simu as well. He has this sword, Deliverance, but he barely draws it. However, once he did, it seemed to startle He Simu's lantern, and I believe that’s when she and her magical powers became visible to him. I’m really curious to see how this story continues because, so far, I’m quite clueless!The fact that she can’t see colours, hear music, or feel cold, warmth, and touch is so sad. I suspect that as the leads develop an affection for each other, she might gradually regain those senses. Maybe the key isn't the sword, but love itself?Also, I wonder if the "obsession" He Simu took from the dying father about his son—who is now being presented as her brother—will mean something later on. She even introduced herself with another name, He Xiaoxiao, if I remember correctly.And the chemistry between leads looks quite good.
